Democrats Need to Make Republicans Fear the Consequences of Attempting a Dictatorship | Washington Monthly A serious threat of prosecution must hang over those who break the law in the second Trump administration.

I've been saying this for weeks. We have to make the Republicans fear their own constituents more than they fear Trump. This is a piece of that.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie?

Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care.

They are the new face of the opposition.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

β€œSchmidt being β€œviolently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.”

Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

β€œIt doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

good to watch. but there's one part in here that most will probably overlook. stability, the constitution and the rule of law are magnets for capital. an elemental observation that's at the root of basically every study of economics and capitalism.

Mark Carney to be next Canada PM after winning Liberal leadership race Former central banker will be only second prime minister in Canadian history without a seat in parliament

Word on the street: Mark is sharp, has zero felony convictions, knows what words mean, actually understands the effect of tariffs and didn't have to take a dementia test.

US β€˜to cease all future military exercises in Europe’ Nato countries could be forced to plan manoeuvres without US as Trump continues pivot away from bloc

US military ending joint exercises with NATO, as America’s leaders denounce Europe.

Russia’s top foreign policy goal has long been to undermine, ideally break up NATO, which is apparently a US goal now as well.

Similarly, America’s stated goal is now regime change in Ukraine, the same as Russia’s.

Tweet from Speaker Johnson: Rep. Al Green’s shameful and egregious behavior during President Trump’s Joint Address disgraced the institution of Congress and the constituents he serves. Despite my repeated warnings, he refused to cease his antics and I was forced to remove him from the chamber.
 
He deliberately violated House rules, and an expeditious vote of censure is an appropriate remedy. Any Democrat who is concerned about regaining the trust and respect of the American people should join House Republicans in this effort.

Wealthy white politician who constantly rails about the importance of free speech to make example of Black member of Congress for exercising his peaceful speech.

It's a shame that Green was the only one who stood up. Where is Dem leadership on this? How are they still so silent? smh
